JUDGE DREDD // Don’t Drokk With Bob // Part One!

Mega-City One, 2141 AD. Home to over 130 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America, with the irradiated wasteland known as the Cursed Earth to the west. Unemployment is rife, boredom universal and crime is rampant. Tensions rest on a knife-edge and only the zero-tolerance Judges can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law!

Script: Kenneth Niemand / Art: Dave Taylor / Letters: Jim Campbell

MEGATROPOLIS // Part Eight!

Imagine a Mega-City One from an alternate timeline – less the gleaming metropolis of the twenty-second century but instead an art deco retro-future variation. Joe Rico is the one good cop in a police department riddled with corruption, and he’s just been joined by a new partner in the shape of Amy Jara. Now, the Dredd vigilante has crashed the mayor’s ball…

Brit-Cit, 2142 AD. The remnants of old Britain still exist alongside the twenty-second century Mega-City, and these ruins are fought over by the Brit-Cit street gangs, who see them as valuable territory. Nia Jones used to run with the Diamond Dogs, but she was also a Justice Dept informer, often playing both sides against each other. Now, though, the Dogs have disbanded…

OUT NOW: Judge Dredd Megazine 430

More thrills abound in Megazine 430, with more Dredd, The Returners, Deliverance, Megatropolis and brand new Devlin Waugh!

Judge Dredd Megazine 430 is out now!

This month we reach the final episode of The Returners: Heartswood, and we were very sad to hear of the sudden death of writer Si Spencer in February. Si had been a part of the creative line-up of the Meg during its formative years in the nineties,
creating Harke & Burr with Dean Ormston, and The Creep with Kevin Cullen, and had a parallel career working in TV, script-editing the likes of Eastenders, The Bill and Grange Hill.

He’d returned to the Meg in the last four years, writing HAVN and The Returners, the last arc of which, Amazonia, he’d just about completed. That series will commence in a couple of issues’ time, but in the meantime inside you’ll find an obituary from Karl Stock as creators such as Ormston, Gordon Rennie, Garth Ennis and David Bishop warmly recollect the memories of their friend.

Elsewhere, we have the latest episodes of Megatropolis and Deliverance, a complete Dredd thriller, and the first of two Devlin Waugh single-parters by Aleš Kot and Mike Dowling that will lead into a major storyline, The Reckoning, starting in Meg 432!

Now, they’ve fled to Brit-Cit, hoping to find a way to escape their curse, and entered a strange house…

OUT NOW: Judge Dredd Megazine 429

More thrills abound in Meg 429, with more Dredd, The Returners, Deliverance, Megatropolis and Dreadnoughts!

Judge Dredd Megazine 429 is out now!

The opening story arc of the acclaimed Dreadnoughts – named by The Hollywood Reporter, no less, as one of the best comics of 2020 – reaches its finale this issue, but writer Mike Carroll has already scripted the follow-up, The March of Progress, as this fascinating early era of the Judges proves both popular and remarkably prescient.

Given the USA managed to have a failed insurrection attempt between the last Meg going to press and this one, who knows how quickly current events will catch up with the Dreddverse?

Inside these pages of course, it’s more of the same high-octane thrillers that you’ve come to expect, with the latest instalments of Megatropolis, Dreadnoughts, Deliverance and The Returners, plus a one-off Judge Dredd story from Ken Niemand and Patrick Goddard!

Artist John Higgins, meanwhile, is as we speak drawing a six-part John Wagner-written Dredd for 2000 AD, Now That’s What I Call Justice, before he returns to the world of Dreadnoughts – look out for that in June!

Elsewhere, there’s the latest instalments of Megatropolis, The Returners and Deliverance, plus another complete Judge Dredd thriller, this time from Ken Niemand and Simon Coleby.

We also take a look at the slate of new digital GNs released this year, the new Steel Claw collection, and chat with Nat Tapley, the producer behind Future Shocks Radio. Enjoy, creeps!

Judge Dredd Megazine 428 is out now!

Welcome to the first Megazine of 2021, and I’m sure we’re all hoping that, outside of the comic, this year’s a decided improvement on the last.

To coincide with the release this month of his memoir King’s Reach: 25 Years at the Top of Comics, former 2000 AD publishing director John Sanders gets the Interrogation treatment courtesy of Stephen Jewell, and he talks about his fascination with picture-strips, the brutal realities of the ‘hatch, match and despatch’ policy, and managing a vast portfolio of titles during a period that saw a cultural shift in the way that newsstand comics are consumed.

The management of the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic has been often derided in the past over thorny issues such as rights and royalties so it makes for interesting reading to hear his side of the debate and his side of the debate and his thoughts on why 2000 AD survived!
